Ok, that's the right stuff.  I know we've seen this in some cases a long
time ago, but not recently.  

can you try this?

1.  generate a hashed password using # openssl passwd
2.  Boot the image and in the boot menu (or in the pxe config if your
using pxe), add rootpw=hashed_password_from_step_1
3.  When it boots to a getty login prompt, login as root with the
password you supplied to openssl
4.  check /var/log/ovirt.log and /tmp/ovirt.log for any errors


In addition, what type of hardware are you using?  Real hardware?
virtual machine?

What type of storage is on you host?  What state is it in?  Is it clean?
is there something already installed?

How are you installing?  cd?  USB stick? pxe?
